From the
Village of Groveport website:
Based in Groveport Town Hall, 648 Main Street, the Groveport
Heritage Museum displays historic artifacts and memorabilia dating to
the Village’s founding in 1847.
Of special interest is the area devoted to the original Horse Whisperer, Groveport resident John S. Rarey, whose unique methods as a horse trainer earned international praise; and photographs and documents which detail the merger of two canal towns in 1847 - Wert’s Grove and Rarey’s Port – into the world’s only town named "Groveport."
